Gao Jin left the room and went to the stairs. He saw Gao Yuande drinking tea downstairs, and Gao Jin walked over.
"Why don't you sleep for a while?" Gao Yuande asked, then picked up the teapot and started pouring tea.
"Can't sleep," Gao Jin said honestly.
"You arranged for Guo Tao to increase manpower, are you planning to stay here permanently?" Gao Yuande asked.
Gao Jin sat down, picked up the tea cup, drank a cup directly, picked up the teapot and poured tea again.
“I won’t stay here permanently. Although it is my first time to come to Xiangjiang, to be honest, I am a bit disappointed.”
“Compared to Beijing, this place is just like the countryside and seriously lacks modern flavor.”
Gao Jin said unceremoniously. Gao Yuande smiled after hearing this. Xiangjiang has not changed much in these years.
"Don't look down on Xiangjiang. Ten years ago, this was the financial center of Asia," Gao Yuande said with a smile.
"Dad, what were you thinking back then? You were determined to develop in China."
Gao Jin asked, what his father did was very strange and definitely did not conform to the mainstream of the Hong Kong young man circle at that time.
"I really didn't think much about it at the time."
"I just remember what the old man often said to me, we are a kingdom in heaven, and sooner or later we will return to the top one day."
"Xiangjiang is such a small place. Besides land speculation, there is no future."
"Although I am a spendthrift in food, drink and fun, I also know that water flows to higher places. When you go abroad, it is other people's territory. Who will take you seriously?"
"They will blackmail you at every turn. In their eyes, you are a fat sheep that can be slaughtered at any time. Dad, I suffered a lot when I visited England."
"People in the colonies have no say, this is what the British police said to me"
"Even if you are being reasonable, I have to punish you. If I bully you, you have to endure it. I don't take you seriously at all."
"Later, when the family began to discuss the direction of development, I bluntly said that if you all agreed to go to other countries to develop, I would sell my shares and exit."
"You saw the result, dad, I got a sum of money and was kicked out."
"Then I started running around for a living. I traveled around the mainland. After a few months of research, I finally set a development goal. If I didn't know anything, I would just become a charterer."
"Now it seems that your father and I are still very wise and powerful."
"As far as I know, your uncle invested billions in the UK and doesn't earn much now, but the assets I purchased have increased in value by tens of billions, and my income is increasing year by year."
"To tell you the truth, now the second landlords and real estate developers in many cities in the mainland hate me."
"If the rent of the property under my name is not raised, theirs will not be able to rise."
Gao Yuande kept talking about his glorious deeds, and Gao Jin didn't know what to say.
All I can say is that Dad chose the right time.
Standing on the cusp of the times.
Become a god in one fell swoop!
In any case, this achievement is enough to make one's peers proud.
While drinking tea, the father and son began to chat. Gao Jin also knew about Guo Tao and Feng Bo. They were both elders in the family. It could be said that they had worked and lived in the Gao family all their lives.
Now Guo Tao's monthly salary is 20,000 yuan. Taking care of food and housing, including the year-end bonus, he can still earn 300,000 yuan a year.
Everyone else has a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, and it is easy to take care of food and work.
Working in the Gao family is much better than working outside.
"Dad, how is the film industry in Xiangjiang now?"
Gao Jin asked, since he was planning to enter the film industry, it was necessary to understand the situation of the film industry in Hong Kong.
"What can I do? I'll die."
"In my time, if you wanted to be a star, you had to work hard to practice your acting skills. Now, you can become a star by showing off just a little bit of your body."
"Everyone has poor acting skills and asks for tens of millions in salary without looking at how much they weigh."
"Coupled with land speculation and real estate speculation in Xiangjiang, prices are soaring, and various costs are rising straight up. There is no soil for movies to grow anymore."
“In this situation, it’s unreasonable not to die.”
"If you want to know specific things, I'll call a few people who know Hong Kong movies to come over and talk to you."
"Your father and I still have a certain face in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang."
Gao Yuande bluntly pointed out the shortcomings of Xiangjiang movies, and Gao Jin nodded thoughtfully.
After chatting for a while, the father and son walked out of the villa and walked around. After walking around, Gao Jin realized that the villa covers an area of more than 70 acres.
In Gao Jin's words, for such a large place, the architecture and layout seem a bit outdated and lack a sense of vitality.
Gao Yuande was very surprised. He didn't expect Gao Jin to think so.
Gao Jin represents the future of the Gao family. If the family lacks vitality, it means that the Gao family will lack vitality in the future. This is not a trivial matter.
The home really needs to be renovated.
Gao Yuande is still very superstitious about Feng Shui layout.
We had dinner early today, and the cuisine was mainly Sichuan cuisine. This surprised Gao Jin, but Gao Yuande was not surprised.
Guo Tao worked carefully and had already grasped Gao Jin's taste from Gao Jin's words.
After dinner, both father and son went back to their room to rest early.
The next day, Gao Yuande drove and Gao Jin took the car. The two left home and went to order paper goods.
Gao Yuande had not been back for several years. This time he went to pay homage to the old man. Gao Yuande planned to burn more to make up for his mistakes.
At noon, we took Gao in for snacks to experience authentic Hong Kong-style snacks. During one lunch, the father and son ate at six snack bars.
After returning home, Gao Yuande went to rest. While Gao Jin was walking outside, Guo Tao came over.
"Master, the master said that the manor needs to be renovated. The master's opinion is the main one."
"What do you think the young master should do to change it?"
Guo Tao asked.
Gao Jin understood what was going on, and started walking around with Guo Tao, pointing along the way.
"Okay, Uncle Guo, I'll give you a drawing later, and you can arrange for people to construct the work according to the drawing," Gao Jin said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll wait for the young master's instructions," Guo Tao said with a smile.
The two chatted while chatting. Guo Tao was very efficient in doing things. Gao Jin said yesterday that he would increase manpower, and today the manpower is in place.
At this time, the swimming pool in the manor has begun to be cleaned, the lawn has also begun to be fully repaired, and some areas where the tiles have fallen off the walls have also begun to be repaired.
"Uncle Guo, do you usually drive that Rolls-Royce?" Gao Jin asked.
"No, I usually drive that Mitsubishi," Guo Tao said.
"Is that Mitsubishi old?" Gao Jin asked curiously. The appearance of the car was already very old, at least it was something Gao Jin had never seen before.
"It's not too old. It's more than ten years old. It was the young master's car back then."
Guo Tao smiled and said that the Mitsubishi was Gao Yuande's favorite back then, and he even spent a lot of money to modify it.
"Let it retire. Uncle Guo can pick up another car."
"Our family's cars can't all be from more than ten years ago. We've also disposed of the small truck and bought a new one." Gao Jin spoke directly.
